Life is meant to try you...

Hey guys,

Basically the last few months of my life have been hard to say the least. Friendships have been torn, my home life dropped a bomb on my summer and my school life has been turning up the pressure but somewhere amongst all the crazy I shook myself and remembered a line from S Club 7 (my childhood hero's) "life is meant to try you but your time is comin' around" and it inspired me to write this post which has been a long time coming.

Basically I am not a theist but I do believe there is a grand design which has set us on a path of life. And life is hard. When adults say it in a kinda tough luck way, instantly your mind goes to "k." but it is actually really hard and it is the way you deal with it that makes you who you are. So life is hard - but what can you do about it, well there isn't a manual unfortunately and that sucks (they have manuals for kids toys that are just binned but not for the important stuff, mad) So all you have to do is remember that basically it gets better and your good fortune comes around. It takes several trips into the dark to bring out the light.

When it all gets too hard, don't put up a wall and pretend you're ok if you're not. Breakdown. Cry. Let it all out and turn to someone who knows you the best, your heart. Your heart is there to tell you everything will be ok. Every fortune will come true. Every table will turn. So once you let it out trust me, it will feel better. Then look at yourself in the mirror, dry your eyes and smile. Remember that there is something about you so mind blowing that you make everyone jealous. You're just too fabulous.

Life is crazy. One moment you can be on top of the world and having huge success. Then in a second someone can be bitchy and absolutely crush your mood. I have had a crappy day and couldn't of felt worse and an unexpected text has made me grin like a soppy cartoon character, and I have had the best day then get sad news about someone I love. I never loose the hope it will be alright in the end.

To finish I have to end with a quote from a man who wrote books that are frankly genius. I also happen to believe it sums up how life feels very well:

"He felt that his whole life was some kind of dream and he sometimes wondered whose it was and whether they were enjoying it"

-Douglas Adam The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy


Never forget who you are,
